they might be the most unappealing, boring team in all of cfb. play style, uniforms, stadium.
there's just nothing attractive about that team.



Yikes, Michigan State fan here. Just stopping over to see your bowl projection chatter as most of the "experts" seem to be saying MSU vs. LSU in the Outback Bowl.

In regards to being "boring," we do run a pro style offense and not a sexy Big 12 "never take a snap under center" air raid type offense. This year's team is very young so they've not put up a ton of points, but over the last several years we've been pretty effective offensively. Our defense has typically been very strong as well and finished the regular season ranked in the Top 10 this year.

As someone who has been to all of the Big Ten stadiums except for Purdue, Spartan Stadium is a pretty good experience. The stadium holds 75,000 or so and there have been a lot of renovations recently. It is cool to take in a game at the Big House or The Shoe, but both of those stadiums have their issues. The Big House gives you 6" of room and calls it a seat. At The Shoe, you will wait an hour to take a leak.

Our uniforms are pretty traditional / classic Big Ten, but I think they are pretty sweet. The alternate white helmets are sick.

Anyway, I'll stop back over if we happen to play each other. We have a pretty spirited fan base with a lot of snowbirds / transplants in Florida, so I would anticipate a decent turnout, especially after last year's 3-9 debacle with no bowl game.

It's actually been a little while since we played a bowl game in Florida...the last one being the Outback Bowl following the 2011 season when we beat Georgia:


2016 = No Bowl
2015 = Cotton Bowl (College Football Playoff, killed by Bama)
2014 = Cotton Bowl (NY6, Defeated Baylor)
2013 = Rose Bowl (BCS Game, Defeated Stanford)
2012 = Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl (Defeated TCU)
2011 = Outback Bowl (Defeated Georgia)
2010 = Capital One Bowl (Slaughtered by Bama)

I stand corrected. Just seems that way to my foggy, malted hops, 44 year old memories
